This online engineering PDH live webinar focuses on the measurement of the flow rate of a fluid flowing under pressure in a closed conduit. It discusses the several categories of pipe flow measurement devices along with some associated example calculations for differential pressure flow meters and pitot tubes. It also addresses the general principles of operation for each type of flow meter and general advantages and disadvantages of each.

Measurement of the flow rate of a fluid flowing under pressure (closed conduit) is carried out for a variety of purposes, such as billing for water supply to homes or businesses, or for monitoring or process control of a wide variety of industrial processes that involve flowing fluids. The closed conduit is often circular, but also may be square or rectangular (such as a heating duct) or any other shape.

This 3 PDH online live webinar is intended primarily for mechanical, civil, environmental, chemical, mechanical, and industrial engineers, who are interested in learning more about flow measurement in a closed conduit.

Learning Objectives

This PE continuing education live webinar is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

Calculating the flow rate from measured pressure difference, fluid properties, and meter parameters, using the equations for venturi, orifice and flow nozzle meters

Determining which type of ISO standard pressure tap locations are being used for a given orifice meter

Estimating the density of a specified gas at specified temperature and pressure using the Ideal Gas Equation

Calculating the velocity of a fluid for given pitot tube reading and fluid density.

Knowing the general configuration and principle of operation of rotameters and positive displacement, electromagnetic, target, turbine, vortex and ultrasonic meters

Knowing the recommended applications for each of the types of flow meters

Familiarizing with the general characteristics of the types of flow meters

Subsequently, you will also receive reminder emails with the same instructions 24 hours and 2 hours prior to your scheduled webinar. You can also download these instructions from your account at anytime.

We recommend that you register for any webinar ahead of time, although you can still register online up to the start time of the webinar. If you need any assistance with last minute webinar registrations, please contact us at 877-322-5800.

Webinar Access

From the webinar access and completion instructions that you receive, you will be provided with a link to access the webinar platform from your computer to view and listen in to the webinar. Therefore, to get connected, you will need a computer with high-speed internet as well as microphone and speakers capabilities. We recommend using a headset connected to your computer for enhanced audio quality.

Alternatively, if your computer is not equipped with a microphone and speakers, you need to dial in using a phone line. From the webinar access and completion instructions, you will be also provided with a dial-in number to join the webinar and listen in. Furthermore, you will be provided with a link to download the webinar handout, or you can do directly from you account, in the event you are unable to view the webinar on your computer screen.

Regardless of the connection method used, you will have the opportunity to interact with the instructor at the appropriate times either way. We recommend that you connect to the webinar approximately 10 to 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start time.

Certificate of Completion (PDH Credit)

Following attending the webinar, you need to return to the CED Engineering website and login to your account to complete and submit your feedback form.

Following submission of your feedback form, we will email you your Certificate of Completion. You can also download your Certificate of Completion instantly, or at anytime, directly from your account. This is where all your PDH records are kept for your convenience at all times.

PDH Accredited Webinars (including IA, NE, NY, OH and WI)

CED Engineering live interactive webinars are accepted for PDH or CEU credit by all State Licensing Boards (including IA, NY, OH and WI) requiring continuing professional competency, as they are prepared in compliance with the criteria of the State Licensing Boards.
